The moment Liu Tan saw Bu Fan, his eyes lit up.

Bu Fan came over with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Highness! I never thought I would see Your Highness again!"

Liu Tan immediately went over and asked, "Where's the Emperor? Is he alright?"

Bu Fan replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness. His Majesty is in good health now, but he just misses his homeland."

Liu Tan couldn't wait to ask, "Where do you live now? Take me there first!"

It wouldn't be too late to find out the situation after they met. What he wanted to know most now was Liu Che's physical condition.

Bu Fan said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Your Highness has traveled all the way here, and he must be feeling uncomfortable on the boat. It is better to get off the boat and rest first."

As soon as Liu Tan got off the boat, he saw several shorter horses on the shore and asked in surprise, "There are horses here?"

Bu Fan said with some dissatisfaction, "This broken island is too barren, even the horse breeds are not good. However, these horses are all ridden by this old slave and his men, so they are naturally not good. Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will send someone to bring you a few horses first."

Liu Tan stopped him and said, "No need, I brought the horse with me."

These horses were all bought locally in Jiaozhi State. In terms of horse breed, they were definitely not as good as the ones Liu Tan and his men originally rode, but these horses all had one characteristic - they had been on a boat and did not get seasick.

There was no way. Liu Tan didn't know how long it would take them to sail on the sea to reach Luzon Island. Even if they really did transport good horses, what if they got seasick after getting on the boat?

When people get seasick, they can just lie down and endure it, but horses can't. Horses are too heavy, and once they lie down, it puts a lot of pressure on their various organs. So if a horse breaks a bone, it might be saved in later generations, but at that time it would be dead for sure.

Liu Tan's request was too bizarre at the time. Fortunately, Jiaozhi had a long coastline and many people lived by the sea, so there were at least fifty such horses, but no more.

During the long voyage, some of the fifty horses could not bear it, and in the end only about thirty were left.

Liu Tan and Bu Fan first boarded a small boat, then lowered the boat from the big ship and went ashore.

There is no other way. There is no port here, or rather no deep-water port. Large ships cannot dock, so they can only go ashore like this.

After getting ashore, Liu Tan felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being on solid ground. He felt as if the whole island was shaking.

Liu Tan left two captains behind and took Wei Kang and Wei Buyi with him on horseback to rescue his father.

Because he was anxious, he was running all the way and did not ask Bu Fan about Liu Che.

After passing through a dense forest, Liu Tan saw people gradually appearing in front of him. There were Han people as well as people with darker skin, who were probably locals.

Liu Tan took a quick look and found that the locals retreated to the side in fear when they saw them, and thought they were frightened by their attire.

However, there are indeed indigenous people on Luzon Island, which is not good news. I don’t know how much bullying his father has suffered.

The more Liu Tan thought about it, the more anxious he became. However, when he arrived at the camp that Bu Fan mentioned, he found that things seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

He originally thought that Liu Che would be threatened by the local natives if he brought such a small number of people with him. If they did not live on the boat, they would have to live in tents if they were not caught.

As a result, the building complex in front of him made him feel that his guess seemed a little wrong.

Although it is called a building complex, it is actually just a group of wooden houses, and the construction of the wooden houses is still in progress at this moment.

Seeing Liu Tan's bewildered look, Bu Fan couldn't help but explain, "Your Highness, please bear with me. There aren't many good materials on this island, so we can only make do with the wooden house for now."

"Father...it's not...you...are not..." Liu Tan felt his train of thought was a little stuck. He took a deep breath and decided to let it go for now. He said, "Let's go. Take me to see Father first."

Bu Fan immediately said, "The largest house in front is your Majesty's."

Well, I guessed it, Liu Tan thought expressionlessly, Liu Che really would never compromise himself no matter where he went.

He followed Bu Fan all the way forward and found that although the entire camp was not particularly clean and tidy, it was still well organized. In particular, everyone seemed to know what they needed to do and there was no panic.

Among them, many of the indigenous people with darker skin were working under the command of the Han people.

"Why are you here?"

Just when Liu Tan was wondering what his father had done here, he suddenly heard a question.

When he turned his head, he saw two familiar faces who had not been seen for a long time and seemed a little unfamiliar - Lady Gouyi and Liu Fuling.

Oh, now they should be called the Queen Mother of Qi and the King of Qi.

The Queen Mother of Qi was fine, she just looked Liu Tan up and down, but the hostility of King Liu Fuling of Qi was more serious.

Liu Tan instantly entered combat alert. He glanced at him nonchalantly and said, "I'm here to take my father back, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi doesn't seem to be welcoming me. Could it be that he doesn't want to go back? If so, I can ask my father for a favor. Don't worry, my father has always doted on His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, so I'm sure he'll grant this small request."

Bu Fan looked at Liu Tan silently and labeled him as someone with a bad temper.

Liu Tan's anger wasn't just a little bit strong, it was extremely strong.

He had been angry ever since he learned that Liu Che was missing. Later, when Liu Ju fell ill, he became even angrier. Then there were various rebellions.

He had to deal with one thing after another, and he had no time to lose his temper. He kept all the anger in his heart, and after suppressing it for a long time, he took it all out on Liu Fuling - looking for immortals, looking for immortals, looking for your uncle's immortals!

Now, seeing Liu Fuling, he only mocked him, which was the result of his great restraint.

Liu Fuling looked at him with a furious look on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't think that..."

Liu Tan waved his hands irritably, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Where's the emperor? I want to see him."

Before Liu Fuling could say anything, the Queen Mother of Qi beside him reached out and placed her hand on his arm. She spoke softly, "Don't worry, Fifth Prince. His Majesty went out to fight yesterday and hasn't returned yet. Send someone to report to His Majesty first. I believe His Majesty will return quickly once he knows."

Liu Tan was stunned: "Wait...wait a minute, going to war? What war?"

Bu Fan, standing by, lowered his brows and explained, "I didn't have time to tell Your Highness just now that after we drifted to this island a while ago, Your Majesty originally wanted to quietly wait for rescue from the capital, but unexpectedly encountered the natives of this island. These natives are like savages, not only are they half-naked, but they are also very barbaric. Your Majesty originally wanted to communicate with them properly and ask where this place is, but the natives said something unspeakable and came up with sticks and stone tools, trying to beat and kill. Your Majesty had no choice but to lead his men to fight back."

Liu Tan was silent for a while before asking, "So...what's the situation now?"

Bu Fan said, "Alas, it was those natives who repeatedly provoked us. His Majesty, in a rage, demanded their annihilation. However, Your Highness also knows that we did not bring any capable generals with us this time. His Majesty had no choice but to take the field. This was originally where those natives lived, and it was only with His Majesty's wisdom and bravery that we were able to conquer this place."

Liu Tan: ...

He took a deep breath and said, "Let's put this aside for now. Take me to see my father first."
